Gmail helps Fight phishing with eBay and PayPal

Now any email that claims to come from “paypal.com” or “ebay.com” (and their international versions) is authenticated by Gmail and — here comes the important part — rejected if it fails to verify as actually coming from PayPal or eBay. That’s right: you won’t even see the phishing message in your spam folder. Gmail just won’t accept it at all.

As a Gmail user, as well as a PayPal and eBay user, this is good news.
